Chapter 4: Edward's P.O.V.
As we speed down the familiar streets of Seattle, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
'Are you ok? You look nervous' I saw a reflection of my face in my sisters mind. I did look nervous, my face was tense and stiff. I tried to relax my muscles so I could give Alice a smile, but it felt wrong and uncomfortable. Alice reached out her hand, placing it on my cheek.
'You don't have the same smile anymore, not just now, but for the last 70 years. It's really sad, but you have to move on, I'm sorry to say, but…'
I knew what she was trying to say, that I should try to forget Bella, I winced at the thought of her name. How can I forget her, when everything reminds me of her? Even if I wanted to forget her, I don't think it would be possible. I inhaled a lung full of air, 'It's to late, you made your choice, now you've got to live with it' the voice in the back of my head told me, my voice, which made it all seem worse.
"Edward, please try to move on. Do you know you're putting Esme through? Everytime she sees you…", my hands clenched the steering wheel.
"Alice, do you think I enjoy everything reminding me of Bella? Do you?" I yelled. I didn't mean to, but it's like she was implying that I wanted reminders of Bella everywhere, that I wanted to be tortured by my memories of her. "I know, I shouldn't of said anything, I'm sorry" Alice said in a calm voice, as she returned to staring out the window.
We drove in silence for a while, then Alice gasped.
"I need a new outfit for school. Edward can we please go shopping"
"No Alice, we have to get home"
"What about later, come on Edward, please". I turned to her, I have always wondered how someone so small could be so annoying.
"Alice…", I turned to look at her, but her eyes were glazed and distant, as if she were seeing something different to at was in front of her.
"It's official, you're coming shopping"
"That's what your vision was about, me coming shopping" I asked in a bored tone. I couldn't care less about her vision, I just wanted to get "home" and…
"Edward" Alice said pointing to the side of the road. I turned into our old and new drive way, driving towards the large white three story house. Why were we coming back to the same house?
Alice was already in the house with her bags before I had opened my car door. I walked to the back of my car getting out my bags, I placed them on the ground to close the boot of my car, but when I went to grab my bags, Alice had already taken them. I sighed, walking human speed to the house, but once I stepped into the door frame, Alice already had my arm dragging back to the car.
"Edward and I are going shopping" she said over her shoulder.
"Have fun" Emmett called down to us with a chuckle. I didn't see the point in fighting with Alice, so instead I just let Alice drag me to my car.
On the way to Seattle, neither Alice nor I talked, instead we both watched Alices visions. Alice's vision was of her talking to another girl, another one of us, but once the girl turned around and said "Have you met my sister", the vision vanished, as if someone had switched the power off on a T.V.
'What the heck happened?' Alice thought.
"I dunno" I replied. Alice returned to the exact same scene in her mind, with the exact same outcome. Alice turned to me, her face confused.
"I don't know Alice, has this ever happened before?"
"No, I don't think so", she replied as she searched her memory trying to find a time when this had happened, but nothing.
We didn't have time to dwell on it; we reached the shops a couple of minutes after Alice's vision issue.
"Ok, I'm going to go try on some clothes. Come on, I need your opinion" Alice said as she started tugging on my arm, trying to drag me into the shop.
"Why don't you go ahead, choose the best three, then I'll come back in half an hour and tell you what I think" Alice agreed, walking into the store. I didn't know where I was planning to go, but I let my feet carry me, my mind else where. I don't know why I insist on being alone, when I think about Bella more when I'm alone. I need to forget about her, but I can't, or won't, I want to remember her, no matter how my pain I inflict on myself.
I wasn't sure how long I'd been walking when I decided to look at my watch, I had ten minutes left, until I had to go back and help Alice decided on her outfit. Yay. I turned around on my heels, walking a tad faster so I could make it back on time, 'nothing worse than an annoyed Alice' I thought, but there was something worse, and I did it, I inflicted it on myself. My mind started wandering again, but I kept my pace. I was at the front of the store, about to pull it open, when someone ran out it, bumping into me. My reflexes made me catch her, but she straightened up at an unnatural speed, then someone else walked out the door. I recognised the second girl, the girl from Alice's vision, but the first girl, I had never seen before, but I felt a strange pull towards her. Why did I want to grab her waists and pull her closer to me? Why did I have an uncontrollable urge to kiss her?
"I'm so sorry" I said to the girl I was holding. She took a step back from me, looking at her feet, hiding her face.
'He is so hot' thought the girl from Alice's vision.
"Thank-you" I replied with out thinking.
"What?" she said aloud, 'How did he know that?'
"Summer, come on" the girl standing in front of me said as she grabbed the other girls arm. "Um… thanks for catching me" She said to me as she walked away, still not lifting her head.
"Your welcome" I whispered even though they were a couple of meters away.
I went to open the door again, when Alice came out in a rush.
"Alice"
"Edward, I have to go talk to Carlisle. Come on"
A/N: Ok, a couple of things. Please forgive me, I found this chapter really hard to write. Also, I don't think I got Edwards character right in this chapter, but I promise I'll do better next time. And for those of you who don't enjoy cliff hangers, I think they make the story funnier, even for me write it with my friend. Micky xoxo
